Kusho ukuthini ukubizelwa empilweni eyodwa
Ngivame ukusho kaningi mayelana nencwadi engiyifundayo yebhulogi yencwadi engiyincomayo ukuthi "wonke umuntu kufanele ayifunde". Kumele ngibusiswe endabeni yami yokufunda ukuze ngikwazi ukusho lokhu kaningi ngokwanele. Ngiyaphinda ngiyimemezela, ngokungagodli, kusuka ku-Single for a Greater Purpose nguLuanne D Zurlo (Sophia Institute Press). Umbhali, umhlaziyi wezamanani waseMelika waseWall Street futhi obambe iqhaza ekuguqulweni kwezemfundo emazweni asathuthuka (uhlala futhi wasebenza kakhulu eLatin America), wabhala ucwaningo olushukumisa ingqondo ukuthi kusho ukuthini ukuphila impilo eyodwa njenge UmKatolika; isihlokwana sayo esithi, “Injabulo efihliwe eSontweni LamaKatolika” sikhombisa umyalezo waso oyisisekelo: lolu bizo alulona olwesibili oluhamba phambili, kepha lubizo oluholela ekwanelisekeni kweqiniso nasekuthuleni kwangaphakathi.
Esethulweni sakhe, uZurlo uphakamisa umbuzo oyingqikithi ephindaphindekayo yencwadi yakhe: ngokunikezwa kwenani elikhulayo labesilisa nabesifazane abangashadile ezweni laseNtshonalanga namuhla, "Kungenzeka yini uNkulunkulu abize amaKhatholika amaningi ukuba ahlanganyele ngokujulile Naye, aphile njengabantu nje ukungashadi futhi uphathe amanani weVangeli ngokwesiko eliye lasangana futhi landa ngokwenkolo? Umbuzo omuhle; Akudingeki ukuthi ube ngumKrestu okhathazekile ukuze ubone ukungabikho kokuzibophezela okuthe xaxa ebudlelwaneni bempilo yonke emphakathini wethu, noma isibalo sabantu abasha ababukeka beheha abadlule ezindabeni eziningi ezingenazithelo futhi abaphetha ngonya bethi le yimpilo ka.
Ngisho neBandla, likhathazeka ngokukhuthaza isakramente lomshado nokusiza abantu asebeshadile ukuba baphile ubizo lwabo, kaningi liyekethisa ukukhuluma nabantu eSontweni. UZurlo ubhala ukuthi uyazi "inani elingachazwanga lamaKatolika azizwa engenanjongo, engenasiqondiso, engamukeleki, engaqondakali futhi edelelekile" ngoba awashadile noma ahlala ebupristini noma empilweni yenkolo. “Emfucumfucwini yezwe lethu elinezinkinga langemva kobuKristu,” mhlawumbe uNkulunkulu udala uhlobo olusha lobufakazi bobuKristu nobuphostoli ezimpilweni ezifihlekile ezingazinikezele?
UZurlo uveza ukuthi enye yezinkinga amaKhatholika ngamanye ahlangabezana nayo ukuthi ngabe "adlulile," ahlela noma anethemba lokushada ngesikhathi, noma ngabe uNkulunkulu ufuna ngempela yini ukuba bazinikele kuYena ngokuphelele ngenkathi besaphila emhlabeni. Uyavuma ukuthi okweminyaka embalwa eyintokazi enomsebenzi onentshisekelo futhi oholela kahle, wayecabanga ukuthi ngelinye ilanga uzoshada. Kuthathe isikhathi eside, umkhuleko kanye nokuqonda okwandayo ukuphetha ngokuthi, yize kwesinye isikhathi ebethandana nabangaba abangane bomshado besikhathi esizayo, uNkulunkulu ubefuna ahlale engashadile "ngenhloso enkulu," njengoba esho esihlokweni sakhe.
Kusho ukuthini ubizo olulodwa lweqiniso? Kubuza yena. "Kungukubizelwa empilweni eyodwa njengokuhlala unomphela futhi kuqondiswe ngokomthetho ukuthanda nokukhonza uNkulunkulu ngayo yonke inhliziyo yethu". Ngaphezu kwezibonelo zomlando ezaziwayo zokuphila kwabantu abangashadile abangcwele, abanjengoCatherine waseSiena, uRose waseLima noJoan wase-Arc, uZurlo ubuye akhombe abazinikezele abangashadile esikhathini sethu, njengomakhi waseSpain u-Antoni Gaudi, uJan Tyranowski, umeluleki wentsha uKarl Wojtyla, kamuva uPapa John Paul II no-Irish Frank Duff, umsunguli weLegion of Mary.
UZurlo uphinde afake umbhali wami oyintandokazi, uCaryll Houselander, umqophi wezinkuni nomdwebi, kanye nomuntu ongaqondakali, owathola ukuphoxeka ebusheni bakhe ngaphambi kokwamukela ukuthi wayedalelwe impilo eyodwa. Futhi, exwayisa ngokuthi umshado ubhekwa njengokugcwaliseka okuphelele ngokomzwelo, ucaphuna uDon Raniero Cantalamessa ngokuthi ubufakazi bokungashadi kwabantu “bungawusindisa kanjani [umshado] ekuphelelweni yithemba, ngoba kuvula umkhathizwe odlulela ngaphesheya kokufa. “Le yincwadi efike ngesikhathi futhi efanele ukufundwa ngokuzimisela.
